Another special play-off night at Firhill. Thistle edge the tie. We'll see you on Tuesday when we face Raith Rovers on Tuesday.
The ball is headed over the Thistle crossbar for a much celebrated goal kick.
We've had our 6 minutes additional time, but there was another Thistle double sub.
Graham is fouled and Thistle have a free kick inside the Airdrie half. Don't thibnk this one is going into the Airdrie box.
Graham plays Fitzpatrick in. Fitzpatrick clips the ball past Hemfrey but just wide of the post.
Minimum of 6 minutes additional time to be played. I'm away to boil a couple of eggs. I can't cope with this.
Thistle goal kicks are being celebrated like goals.
I don't know what your heart rate is like but mine is through the roof.
Thistle for once don't deal with the corner and there is a great chance for Airdrie but the shot strikes the top of the bar and goes over. Thistle goal kick.
Graham back defending heads clear.

There's still 25 minutes of this to go, and I'm not sure my nerves can cope.

This tie is far from done as Airdrie pull one back. Lyall tucks the ball home from about 10 yards out.
Neilson flicks the corner away from goal.
We're going again.
Delay as some pyro is attended to.
What a start to the second half, and what a goal. It's a clever ball from Scott Robinson and a sublime flick from Brian Graham that has Thistle 4-2 ahead on aggregate.
Back underway. No changes from Thistle at the break.
Minimum of 1 minute additional time to be played.
A McBeth foul gives Airdrie a free kick deep inside the Thistle half.
Fitzpatrick takes the free kick himself. It finds McBeth and the back post who tries to head back towards goal but it is cleared. With the ball coming back off McBeth play restarts with a goal kick.
Fitzpatrick is fouled and Thistle have a free kick wide on the left.
Mitchell claims the ball and tries to launch a quick couner attack.
Another corner to face.
The corner is well defended.
Airdrie make a bit of a mess of the corner situation after working a short corner.
McInroy picks out Milne with the free kick and Hemfrey has to save his header almost right under his crossbar. Comfortable save for the Airdrie keeper.

The flag is up for offside again. This time against Graham who is caught offside as he collects a McInroy pass.
There is a flicker of anxiety as a ball is played over the top of the Thistle defence. Mitchell gets there to collect but the flag goes up for offside in any case.
Thistle are in front. It's the first positive spell of the game from The Jags and they are rewarded with a goal. Fitzpatrick crosses and Graham thumps the ball high into the net from inside the 6 yard box. Number 25 for the season for the Thistle captain.
Stanway has a shot from the edge of the box that Hemfrey saves.
A McInroy shot is blocked by a defender and spins away for goal.
Hemfrey gets to a through ball a few seconds before Graham can get on the end of it.
The ball is in the Thistle net but the flag had long gone up for an obvious offside. It is Airdrie that have started the better though. Thistle not settled yet.
The corner is well defended by Thistle, but Airdrie have a throw on the far side.
First shot at goal comes from Airdrie's Fordyce but it is high over Mitchell's crossbar.
First hint of a chance. Robinson gets the ball on the right and tries to push a pass inside to Graham but the ball just won't sit for Graham and any chance is lost.
Thistle kick the game off and are shooting towards an absolutely rocking John Lambie Stand in the first half.
Kick-off is now just a little over 15 minutes away and the atmosphere is building and building ahead of some Friday Firhill Play-off Drama.
You shouldn't need reminding but after a 2-2 draw in Airdrie on Tuesday the tie is neatly poised.
Thistle are unchanged from Tuesday right down to the choice of substitutes.
The sun in shining, the songs are belting out from The John Lambie Stand and already by heart rate is way above what it should be.
